Session Fee: The session fee pays for our time and talent during your photo shoot, as well as the careful hand selecting and editing of each session image. It also covers your online image gallery*. It does not include any finished portraits, unless otherwise stated.

Deposit: The session fee requires a 50% deposit and is due within 5 days of scheduling your session. Your appointment cannot be reserved until the deposit is paid, so please submit the deposit payment along with these forms as soon as possible. Due to our limited schedule, deposits are non-refundable but may be applied toward a rescheduled session. The deposit will be forfeited if a session is cancelled without rescheduling or if the session has been rescheduled more than twice. No-shows will not be refunded, nor will they be rescheduled.

On Location sessions: Please be aware that outdoor sessions may need to be rescheduled in the event of inclement weather. If a permit is required to conduct a session in a client’s desired location, the client will be responsible for obtaining the permit and any costs involved. Locations outside a 20-mile radius of Dalton, Ga. (30721) are subject to a travel fee. Please contact us for an exact quote, but expect a minimum of $10.00

Under the Weather: If your child is sick, please call to reschedule. Sick children do not like to be photographed and we know that you will not love your portraits nearly as much as if he or she was in good health. If you must cancel, please try to do so as soon as possible. All cancellations and rescheduling must be made by phone, not e-mail or Facebook.

Arrival Time: Please arrive on time! It is to your advantage to be on time and ready to start the session. Starting late means you will have fewer images to choose from. Clients arriving more than 15 minutes late may be asked to reschedule, and a $25 rescheduling fee will be applied.

Exclusive Photographer: No camera, camcorder, or other recording device of any kind, other than the photographer’s, is permitted during the portrait session.

*Online Image Proofing Gallery: Your images will uploaded to your personal image gallery approximately 2 weeks after your session.

Note any image change you would like to see in the appropriate area, once the changes are made and the images are approved by you, we will make any digital discs you have ordered and move the final gallery to our print gallery for all print orders.

All images are photographed in color, but are available in black and white for no additional charge.

Basic Touchup: All final images include basic retouching, which include the removal of minor blemishes, small spots or scratches, small bruises, or single stray hairs. Anything beyond that may be considered extensive retouching, and could be subject to an additional artwork fee of $40/hour (minimum one hour). Extensive retouching includes the removal of braces, whitening of teeth, head swapping, substantial acne, or body slimming. Please contact us to discuss your touchup options.
